Summary

Wilcoxson School is an elementary school in Stratford, CT, serving 318 students in grades K–6 within the Stratford School District. The school stands out most dramatically for its attendance: only 5.2% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, less than one-third of the district rate of 17.1% and well below the state average of 16.4%. Attendance has improved every year since 2021–2022, when it was 10.8%. Strong attendance is often a sign of a positive school climate, and it likely helps explain why Wilcoxson outperforms most of its Stratford peers academically.

On 2025–2026 state assessments, Wilcoxson beat the Stratford district average in nearly every grade and subject, including 6th grade ELA (54.1% vs. 41.0%) and 6th grade math (49.2% vs. 33.9%). The school ranks 299th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, placing it in the 39th percentile with 2 stars — the second-highest ranking among Stratford's six elementary schools, behind only Eli Whitney School, which ranks 222nd. Wilcoxson also trails J.F. Kennedy School in Milford, which ranks in the 63rd percentile. Within Stratford, Wilcoxson outranks Second Hill Lane School, Franklin School, Johnson House Elementary School, Chapel School, and Nichols School.

Wilcoxson serves a somewhat more advantaged population than its district peers, with a 34.3% free/reduced-price lunch rate — the lowest among Stratford elementary schools. Its subgroup data show particular strength with low-income students, who ranked in the 71st percentile statewide in 2020–2021. The school also spends the most per student in the district ($17,024), though its student-teacher ratio of 15.4 is higher than most peers, suggesting funds go toward resources and support services rather than smaller classes. Grade-level scores fluctuate with different cohorts, but overall Wilcoxson is a dependable, above-average-for-its-district school with a standout attendance record.
